Good day! I am hunting for a sausage recipe that approximates Schneiders Cheddar Smokies. My daughter has pretty picky tastes, but loves these. I would love to find a recipe. I have used the search function and found a couple threads referring to them, but are old, and an actual recipe was elusive. Any help or direction would be fantastic.
 
Never seen them around here, but might be fun to try to reverse engineer it!

here's a cheese frank from Len Poli;
Thanks Dan. Not that style, but will save the recipe. This might help home in on a style to start from. Here is the link to ingredient list. I seems to be a simple recipe, that said, be damned if I can find something.

It sounds good, it's got a good amount of fat @ 27% and about 2.15% salt.
with water being the second ingredient I'd guess it was emulsified but the description says coarsely ground, what is your opinion on the grind?
 
Texture is medium to coarse. a good amount of chunky pork, not as large as say kielbasa. As for being emulsified, possibly a portion, but for sure not the whole blend. Seasoning is light, mild spice/heat, there aren't any stand out aromatic herbs/spices.
 
Schneiders®Smokies – Sharp Cheddar
INGREDIENTS: Pork; water, cheddar cheese, brown sugar, salt, potato starch, vinegar, spice, smoked sugar, sodium phosphate, dried garlic, onion powder, spice extract, sodium nitrite, smoke. Contains: milk.

Looking @ the ingredients listed above, I would go with a bratwurst or weisswurst base and add cheddar cheese of choice to the mixture. Since wurst is a personal taste, here is a google link to various homemade cheddar bratwurst recipes:

I have a few recipes from Germany I use if you would like them for flavor ideas. Also, I would stay with REGULAR cheddar cheese and NOT the “high temp” types.

They look like solid recipes, One thing I should mention, which you probably already know, but for someone that doesn't, is that it appears to be a European cure mix which requires 10 times the amount as cure #1. It's only 0.6% nitrite as opposed to cure #1 at 6.25%. Thats why there is no salt listed.
I'd be interested in the book title if you have it.

Absolutely. From a friend. I’ll be looking it up too.
